If given the opportunity, what sixteen-year-old wouldn't jump at the chance to move in with a friend and live parent-free?

To get through the year, April will have to juggle a love triangle, learn to do her own laundry, and accept that her carefully constructed world just might be falling apart . . . one thing-she-shouldn't-have-done at a time.
